LoveTester!

Today we are going to be using NetBeans 6.0!

In class we did the following examples:

• Print out to the console from info entered in a text field.
• Ask a user for a number and give the user that number doubled.
• Ask a user for a number and multiply it by a second number entered by the user.

To accomplish the second and third task we needed to first save the data (accessed on the text field with the .getText() method) and then parse the data (think casting!) as an integer.

Here's the code we used in class:

public void doubleNumber() {

numToMultiply = jTextField1.getText();
numToMultiplyBy = jTextField2.getText();
//Getting the info from the text field
numberToMultiply = Integer.parseInt(numToMultiply);
numberToMultiplyBy = Integer.parseInt(numToMultiplyBy);
finalNumber = numberToMultiplyBy * numberToMultiply;
//Double the number
// numToDouble = Integer.toString(numberToDouble);
//Convert the doubled number to a String
newNum.setText(Integer.toString(finalNumber));
// Set the label "newNum" with the doubled number!
}
private String numToMultiply, numToMultiplyBy;
private int numberToMultiply, numberToMultiplyBy, finalNumber;

The in-class assignment was to create a LoveTester that asks the user for 3-5 pieces of information about himself and 3-5 pieces of information about his lover. The complicated LoveTester Algorithm (patent pending) is going to reveal the level of attraction, lust, and love for the two people!

After the test, we are going to start designing with NetBeans

After the test, I would like you to begin designing with Netbeans. Since your next major project is about games, I want you to check out the Anagram example from the Welcome screen. Click on General under Sample Projects and then click on "Anagram game".

Is Java so easy you can learn it while you drive to work?? What's the signifcance here?

I think the picture's kinda funny.

After your test you can work on these tutorials

Graphics tutorials from Sun.

Blog assignment #5: How do you comment when you write programs?

Blog assignment #5:

First, read this. On your blog, answer the following question: how do you comment when you are programming? Do you add attributes and methods to a class and then add comments at the end? Do you write comments as you code? Lastly, what did you think of the article. Title this blog post- Blog assignment #5.


Blog assignment #4:
The following blogs are very useful to aspiring computer scientists:

• http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/

Add the guessing game to Google Documents

Add me as a viewer (david.freer@gmail.com) just paste your code from Eclipse into Google Docs.

Here's your guessing game Guessing.java assignment

//Write a guessing game with Java where the user guesses a number between one and 100 and
// you give tips based on how close or far they are. If they are 20+ digits away you can lol
//or if they are within 10-20, say they are within a decent range, otherwise say they are getting
//closer!

Oh, we'll be discussing this...

Google source code.

Post URL for Tic Tac Toe code!

Under the layout of your blog add the code for links.

In the links add the URL to the Tic Tac Toe source code that you found. Title it "Tic Tac Toe Source Code".
